I saw them out at the SEMA show in November at Falken's booth. I thought to myself, "hmmm, hey self- this would be a prime opportunity to try and hook some sponsorship for our rally car, I'm sure Falken is eager to get some good exposure for these great new tires!"
So I approached a group of Falken reps standing around and inquired about the tires, performance, price, availability, etc.
The response I got was basically, "Huh? What rally tires?" "You know, those knobbies over there." "I saw George bring those in yesterday, don't know anything about them." "Are they for trucks? Seem kinda small!" "I dunno, maybe they're for little trucks, or snow or something."
So much for informed salespeople. This was at the biggest automotive trade show in the country, so I shudder to think what kind of help you would get at a local retailer!
They did look good, though. Maybe someone will know something sometime. Or not. x(
